chicating(in a weird way the inspiration for this story{not yet finished} is perverse...not like that. But I was on a zoom with a bunch of other writers who have better bios than mine, especially since it's not good form to write "Hey, I almost died twice," especially if you only remember one, and I have no devoted wife Emily to type my shit and be my cheering section. Let's not say anything about how ancient my for-my-mama's-sake BA is, either.
But I do have things that i know, even beyond "My Body's Broken And That Has A Tail(or Tale) Like A Motherfucker.
Even if her women’s book group hadn’t broken up years ago when its young, assertive leader moved back East, she doesn’t imagine she could keep up with much feminist theory and volunteer all weekend like this. Still, she hears a lot of new stories, made up on the fly, as they happen, full of happy stuff she has to try to believe. “It’s great what you’re doing,” they say. “I really admire it. It’s just too bad…I am one week from solving every problem in my life, but…” and sometimes they sigh, whether from stress, or because they think that really sells it to her, the phonebanker can’t decide.(It depends whether she had a good week herself.) “You’re calling this week,” they remind her sometimes.
